The new BMW X1 and the new BMW iX1 at winter training in Sölden

They are in their element in snow flurries and on icy roads, their robust character and BMW xDrive making it possible. The new BMW X1 and the new BMW iX1 demonstrate the strengths of fully variable power transmission to all four wheels during winter training on the glacier in Sölden, Austria. What makes it special is that the new edition of the compact Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) is the first to feature three variants of the intelligent all-wheel drive system. Whether with mild hybrid petrol and diesel engines, with plug-in hybrid drive or fully electric in the new BMW iX1: BMW xDrive ensures superior forward momentum and winter driving pleasure on the snowy test tracks in the Ötztal. Currently, six model variants of the new SAV with BMW xDrive are already on the market. Four of them present the full diversity of the intelligent all-wheel drive in Sölden. The original form of the always on-demand transfer of drive power to all four wheels is embodied by the most powerful gasoline and diesel engine variants of the new BMW X1. Thanks to 48-volt mild hybrid technology, they have additional electric power that optimizes not only efficiency but above all spontaneous power delivery.
